Resources

This site provides information to human resource managers regarding the various Social Security programs and Medicare and is a valuable resource in helping your employees plan for retirement or other life events.

• Retirement
• Disability
• Survivors
• Medicare

Choose a benefit calculator to estimate potential benefit amounts using different retirement dates and levels of future earnings. The calculators will show retirement benefits as well as disability and survivor benefit amounts in case of disability or death.

Benefit amounts can be affected by a number of different factors.  If you already have a benefit estimate, use the information on 

• "More charts and calculators" to find out how different situations affect the Social Security benefit amount, and
• "Other things to consider" to help decide when it's the best time to start benefits.

The Social Security Statement is a concise, easy-to-read personal record of the earnings on which a worker has paid Social Security taxes during his/her working years and a summary of the estimated benefits he/she and his/her family may receive as a result of those earnings.

Social Security also provides related information on:

• Marriage, divorce and name changes
• Report of death
• Identity theft and your Social Security number
• New or replacement Social Security card
• New Social Security numbers for domestic violence victims
• How work affects your benefits
• The taxation of Social Security benefits
• The Windfall Elimination Provision
• Government Pension Offset
